Ep.146 Mark Beattie - Ministry of Arts Podcast

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Mark Beattie (@markbeattie_art) Mark Beattie MRSS is a British award-winning sculptor who has had a remarkable career so far winning the Midlands Open and the Xerxes Sculpture Prize in 2015. In the same year he was elected to the Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS). In 2017 Mark was shortlisted for the Open Contemporary Young Artist Award run by The Biscuit Factory gallery in Newcastle, shortlisted for the international Rise Art Prize and long-listed for The Secret Art Prize by Curious Duke Gallery in London.   Mark creates abstract sculptures using various metals and ranging in size from miniature to monumental. Each sculpture is unique and finished in a way that is sensitive to the material. He has developed a signature style through which his sculptures contain movement and fluidity. Mark has recently started using neon which works in harmony with his metalwork and has added a sense of energy to his practice.   From 13-17 October 2021 Mark is showing at the START Art Fair at The Saatchi Gallery, London.   For more information on the work of Mark Beattie go to https://www.markbeattie.co.uk/   To Book free tickets for THE LIVES OF OTHERS, with Rosalind Davis & Gary Mansfield go to https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-lives-of-others-with-rosalind-davis-and-gary-mansfield-tickets-185576011847   To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts   For full ine up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.org Email: [email protected] Social Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
